The Lady and the Genius.

The case in San Diego

It had been a week since our last case and we had just landed in San Diego airport.
"You know I think this is the first time I've been in SD." I told as we began to make our way to the station.
"Well it is a 37hr trip." Spencer told next to me.
"Yeah but even when I was in my hometown a lot of people would come here for summer break."
"We close to your hometown Baby?"
"Yeah a bit."
"You never have mentioned where you grew up River." J told as she began to get things ready and I went to looking over the case again.
"Wait I thought you two went to see her mothers resting place." Derek brought up.
"No, we went to the Grand Canyon for that."
"My mother was cremated. So she has a tomb in our hometown but part of her was scattered at the Grand Canyon since she said it was her favourite place in the world. So me and Daisy went and scattered her there on a road trip."
"You've never mentioned a Daisy before. She an aunt?" Spencer asked.
"No she was my therapist though out the remaining years of school. She is also my legal guardian." I told not removing my eyes from the case.
"You are so fascinating baby."
"Why thank you Derek."
We soon pulled up to the station and we met up with the others before making our way in.
"Agent Hotchner!" The chief exclaimed.
"Chief Wiggins. This is my team. Agent Rossi, Prentiss, Morgan, our communication liaison Jareau or Jj, and our two drs, Reid and Finley."
"You must be Harold Finley's kid."
"That is my father." I told as I rejected his hand for a shake.
"Your father did say you didn't touch hands with people you've only met."
"Surprised he actually mentioned me at all."
"How's the brother going any how?"
"Not in the picture."
"Oh, I'm sorry for the loss...."
"Don't be, I would like to start the case though if that's ok."
"Of course." He told as before leading us to where we were going to be set up.
"Your father came here for a case?" Spencer asked as he leaned down a bit to whisper in my ear.
"Yeah he went around a lot. Doesn't surprise me at all that he came he."
"You ok?"
"I'm fine. I actually expected it to be known he was my father here. Just want to catch the unsub and get home."
"Yeah cause you have that date to get back to." He told making me smile.
"That I do."

~a few hours earlier~

I walked in to the office and they all looked over at me when they saw what I was wearing.
"You look nice baby."
"I had a date in 20 minutes." I told before heading over to my desk to place my things down.
Spencer walked in and everyone's eyes went to him.
"Pretty boy also looking nice."
"I was going to take Dr to a art gallery since she enjoys art. It was going to be for our 2 year anniversary of us meeting." He told
"Well sadly they will have to wait. We are heading to San Diego for a case." Aaron told as he walked over to us.
"I'll call Jade. Spencer can I get a ride back to the apartments?"
"Yeah I can do that. I'll also have to tell Dr about the situation."

~back to now~

"Ok so what we know so far. They are being taken from crowded places like clubs or music venues." The chief told
"It would make sense. The loud music and lights can through people off and have them not swear of being drugged. Also great places to lead them to go outside where they can kidnap them."
"You know your father mentioned about your fascination with learning the violin."
"My father is dead and not here. We still have an unsub to catch so let's focus on that shall we." I told
"Her father is a sensitive subject so we often don't talk about him." Hotch told making the chief nod.
"He was a good man and I remember her absolutely loving him. I wouldn't have known what happened for that to change." He mentioned before someone walked in.
"Sir the club has opened again for people to go over it. The band is also heading back there now to be questioned."
"Then lets go team." Hotch told making us all get up to leave.
'This will be fun.'

We made it to the scene and walked in to question the employees.
"You wanted to learn the violin?" Spencer asked as we went over to where she was standing for most of the night.
"I did and I have."
"Should have you play something some time."
"I'll need a violin to do so." I told making him smile.
After about half an hour of us going through everything I heard a nickname I hadn't for so long.
"Little Rio is that you?!"
"Little Rio?" The rest questioned as I turned around.
"Tim Tam!" I exclaimed as I jumped up into a hug with him.
"Tim tam?"
"Oh my gosh. What are you doing here?!" I asked as I pulled away from him.
"The band has a gig in town for the next few weeks and we were asked to come back in for some practice and questions. What are you doing here my little gum drop?" He asked which made me giggle.
"Working a case."
"You actually went back to the fbi dream of yours?!"
"Yeah, it's pretty great actually." I told.
"I'm so proud of you Rio." He told as he gave me another hug.
"Oh! This is my team! That's Emily, Derek, Aaron, David, Spencer and J or Jj." I quickly told as I pointed to everyone. "We also have Penelope but she is back at headquarters."
"It's nice to meet you all. You must be the famous J, Rio told me all about." He told as he shook everyone's hands but Spencer.
"And you must be Timothy the boyfriend in the band that I never got to meet." She told returning the smile he had plastered on his face.
"Oh you know about me how fun!"
"Boyfriend?" Spencer asked making us all look over at him.
"Well ex boyfriend." I told
"She broke my heart when she decided to move and leave the band all those years ago."
"Oh shush you! They don't know."
"They don't know you were apart of a band?! Rio how could you not tell them?"
"Easy. By not telling them."
"She was the lead singer. But she left to follow her true dream and we got a new person to fill in the spot. All be it, she was screwing the bass player."
"I knew Vix had a girlfriend!"
"Had? They are still dating!"
"Get outta here!"
"Me get outta here? No, you get outta here!"
"How about we both get outta here?!"
"Man I missed you so much Rio. The new chick is the worse. She's into all the creative shit." He told
"Tim tam I'm an FBI agent. You can't tell me this shit!"
"Oh true. I promise I'm clean. My aunt died from a overdose, so I've never touched the stuff."
"I thought she died cause of great cancer?"
"No that's the other aunt."
"Ah true."
"True in deed."
"Did you see anything on stage by any chance?" Morgan asked.
"When your on stage you zone the hell out. You can look out into the crowd but unless you know to look for someone like a parent or significant other then it's a massive blur of people. One time Rio went crowd surfing and it took us twenty minutes to find her and that's when we were actually looking for her. We could see something looking suspicious and it wouldn't even register to us."
"Can the whole band say the same thing?" Prentiss asked.
"They can. Rio you have to come back stage to see the others!"
"I can't do that I'm working a case."
"You know what that is?"
"Smort?"
"It is Smort indeed." He told.
"Is he who you got that off of?" J asked.
"No more like the other way around." I told as Tim nodded in agreement.
"Here is our number in case you guys do remember anything." Rossi told as he gave him a card.
"I will certainly call. I even have Rios number from the last time we talked as well."
"That you do. It is the updated one yeah?"
"The last thing sent was you posing with a magazine going I'm proud of you guys."
"Then yes it's my updated one."
"She is the best. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I do."
"Please tell me he is good to you."
"He is. The best even, and he is also smort but I beat him in IQ by a few points." I told smirking.
"That's my Rio. Well I should head back to the others and let you get back to the case. But one more question for you Rio."
"Shoot."
"How big is he?"
"Ok I'm not answering that Tim tam. Now I gotta go." I told as I lightly pushed him away from the table.
"Nice meeting you guys." He told before heading off.
"Let's head back to the station to see if we can update the profile from what we've learnt here." Hotch told before we all headed back to the cars.
I was in a car with Morgan, Prentiss and Reid was next to me like always.
"You know you can sit behind Morgan, River."
"I know, but after being forced to sit in the middle the first time after having Morgan drive, I have just decided to sit here when I share the back." I told
"So, you dated a boy in a band baby girl?"
"Well yeah. I was 18 at the time."
"He seems very energetic." Prentiss added.
"Yeah he is great for that fact. He is the lead guitarist of the band."
"Must be good with his fingers then." Morgan joked.
"Oh you have no idea." I joked back making him laugh.
"I mean, I guess we have an explanation for the ba in music." Prentiss told like it was a mystery.
"Oh I just took that for fun when I was 12. The band was also just a fun thing I did before I moving."
"You two seem close." Spencer told.
'Is he jelly?'
"Yeah well we did date. Breaking up was hard on both of us but we remained close after it all. I'm close with the whole band minus the new chick." I told.
"Well we can rule them off as suspects for now, if they were on the stage when the victims were taken." Morgan informed.
"We should keep them on the bottom of the list just in case." I told making them confused. "I know they are my friends and what not but, there is still a sliver of a doubt that they may have done something. Until they have an alibi or there is evidence it wasn't them then they stay at the bottom it's as simple as that."
"Baby, I think I'm falling in love with you. You could say anything and it will make me love you even more."
"There are 78 f-bombs dropped in the usual suspects."
"Oh baby girl if you were single I would take you out on a date myself."
"Nonsense." I told as I looked over at Spencer to see he was just looking out of the window.
'I will definitely need to chat with him.'
